2$ can from chalet, nice place. Pour is very nice a nearly black. Good looking tan head. Friendly malty dark roasted beer nose Very tasty initial uptake. Lots of dark beer flavor without any real bitterness or bad character. I really like dark lagers and schwartz and this is a good example of how a local domestic brewer can do this style justice. As far as the honey goes, not sure if I can pick any out. It does have a very slight sweetness but its nothing out of the normal style attributes. In the middle I'm getting some of that desirable old aged partially burnt campfire wood in there. Nice! Has a pretty good level of fine carbonation that makes this beer even easier to like. Finish? What finish? Balderdash, the can is gone! I should have got a sixer of these! Good stuff there pengy!

Can, slightly hazy light pale like some lemonade. Nose is typical fresh clean american lager, mild cream corn. No hint of lime on the olfactory. Nice head fades to thin cream. On the first taste, I can't really pick out the lime, it just feels like a good clean bubbly lager. Later in the middle I think I'm getting some lime in there. Now its starting to get some bitter lime peel in there as well. Towards the finish some processed non hop bitter beer feel starts to creep in. Maybe its the lime peel or maybe this could just use a few manners if it wants to be a clean fresh mexicali pale lager. Not quite as smooth as a corona or such.

2$ cab from chalet. Pours clear pale with a big white fading head. Nose is strong diesel hop nose. First big swig is terribly bitter, very on style. A little thinner than most 7% IPA, so its not as mouth coating. Yes, nasty and bitter, rude and crude, big and blasting to the taste buds. Quite an experience, and never could get used to the style; so I guess we'll just call it a tick. Unlucky mucky Kentucky bucky, plucky truckee plicky stuckee. There are a gahzillion IPA out there, and they all practically taste the same. There, you have it.

My can says 6.5%. It pours a kinda reddish brew, think red ale that is a little more red. Pop the lid and it overflows with foam. Smells like a malty and volatile sweet. Just got done patching the driveway so I hope this is pretty refreshing; here goes: First big swig reminds me of many red ales. Can't really find any spices in this, I was expecting some. Yea, its really just a stronger irish or UK read ale. Quite surprized. Leaves a malty even feeling on the palate after each swig. Not over the top in any aspect. I still can't get over the fact this is a winter warmer and its lacking those stupid holiday spices, I'm glad. Starting to get a tad of controlled candy sweetness in the middle. Doesn't get cloying, just malty close. Good level of carbonation. And yes, in the end, this turns out to be better than expect.

Pop the lid for some foaming action out of the can. The eye is your typical clear off pale orangish with a slight brown tint colored fest beer. Nose is also your quintessential fest beer aroma; you know, some spicy wood with a little overripe fruit, bread, and toffee syrup hints. First taste is mildly tart compared to many well done festbiers, and I like that! Other than the tartness, you get mostly the things you find in a marzen; toffee malts, some hay grass, bread crust & a touch pepper. Good level of co2. Middle yields mild cereal with friendly hints of creamy & nutty notes. Not bad. Finishes with an enlightened easy to like nonbitter attitude. Yea, that civilized tartness, whether intentional or not, makes this one of the better fests I've had lately. Good job Pengy.
